7. Rev. Lorenzo Dow was the first Protestant preacher in Alabama. He was very fiery and passionate in his belief. He was kind, but seemed crazy to most people. Unlike other preachers, he prefered to work outside, in the wilderness. He only preached once at an altar. He was always sick, but was proad and claimed to be able to "hold off death". Rev. Lorenzo Dow meant well but was a little unhinged.
8. This man was insane. He was forced to travel all over because no one wanted him to stay in their town. He loved everything uncivilized. He claimed the wilderness had a soothing effect on his disease. His poor wife had to follow him through all of this. I don't know how she did it.

7. Magnolia Grove is a beatiful, historic house in Alabama. It was built by Isaac Croom. He served as Minister to Greece, Rome, and Persia. He traveled often, but tried to spend as much time as possible in his beloved house. He filled it with items from exotic lands. The house was passed down to Richmond Pearson Hobson, a decorated Navy officer. He has been recognized for his bravery during the Spanish-American war, at Merrimac. Currently, Hobson's siblings own the house. The family takes great pride in Magnolia Grove.
8. I think this sounds like a really cool place to visit. It's owned by such an important family! That house must be filled with all sorts of antiques, which I love. It's what I picture when I think of the South: a huge, white house with a wrap-around porch, surrounded by acres of trees and gardens. Mangolia Grove is a fasinating house.

Jesse Owens was an african american male born in Florence, Alabama on September 12, 1913 . He did a lot of running in high school, and then went to college in Ohio. He was married to Ruth Solomon. Jesse then became an olymic athelete and competed in the 1936 olympics in Berlin. He was extremely fast. Infact, it says in the interview that there is no record of anyone running faster. He set many records during his time, and is known by most people. He is very impressive because he could run fast, and could jump up to 25 feet!!! He died in 1980, but is still very famous today.
1. The person being interveiwed is Isaac Grove. A retired African American.
2. Isaac is a retired farmer who must now live off of the genorosity of others.
3. Isaac is an eighty year-old, African American man.
4. The interveiw takes place in Isaac's home because he is becoming blind and has developed rheumatism.
5. The date that this interveiw took place was Aug. 18, 1939.
6. Ila B. Prine wrote this article on Isaac.
7. Isaac was a sucessful farmer. He had fifteen acres but ten were fenced. He struggled with neighbors who used him, and kept his dignity. Children stole his small pocketbook and people stole his fences for firewood. He told the interveiwer of the time his wife died, and his didication to her over his work. He ends his interveiw by explaining how even though his health is not at its best, he expects to live long. His blindness did not help, but he still hoped to live a long life. 8. I feel that this interviewee set out to find a person who everyone stepped on. By interveiwing Isaac the journalist introduced to the public that this is a person, who does not deserve what he is recieving. Isaac being blind could not protect himself if he was robbed, but somehow he continues to live on on the charity of others. As much as people hurt him, there are those who help him. His will to live on is enough to write a good article. In the article Isaac answered, "I's go'na fight for de lord as long as I kin."
1.The woman being interveiwed’s name is Sally Smith. 2.Sally is a year-round farmer and craftsman.She makes decorations, and prepares food.She rents a table at the market in town every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday where she sells her products. 3.I assume that Sally is ‘white’ because she calls African Americans ‘colored’; she is a sixty year old woman. 4.The interview takes place as Sally is farming her field, readying it for the upcoming season. 5.The date of the interview is December 17, 1938. 6.The interviewer is Mrs. C.W. Higgins.
7. Sally Smith was an older secluded woman of society. She worked a hard life to ensure that her children got the best education possible. Even in old age she continued to keep up with the working lifestyle on a smaller scale. As the dairy industry went down in profits she went on to flowers and bulbs. She harvested pine and evergreen for garlands, dressed turkeys, and kept a garden; anything to gain profit. Here is an excerpt from the article, "'Fresh pork, sausage, all kinds of flowers, fowls, butter, eggs, fresh meat, vegetables all year round, pot plants, preserves, beautiful home made cakes, packages of light wood and many other things. This is a turkey and decoration season. In the early spring there is a flower season. Loads and loads of lovely flowers, trees bulbs are sold."
8. After reading this article I understood why a journalist would write an article on Sally. Sally's dedication to her work is an inspiration to all. Retirement will bring boredom, so she continued to do what she had always been doing. When the dairy industry didn't show the same profits she turned to other areas of agriculture. Sally was resourceful and never gave up even when her health was decreasing. Sally hired help to continue the business. She bartered to keep helping hands. "She told me she had made a good trade with Mary, the cook woman. She had a nice crepe dress she had bought on special sale for $5.00 "but it too loud for me.""
1.) Jim Davis
2.) Jim Davis is a helper on one of the Taylor Lowenstein trucks. He travels through the state in the truck and gets $15 an hour.
3.) I believe Jim Davis is African American because he was born in Trinidad. He is 130 year old man, but he is no longer alive.
4.) The interview is taking place at Jim Davis' house in Mobile, Alabama.
5.) The interview was taken on October 18, 1938.
6.) The interviewer is Helen S. Hartley.
7.) Jim Davis had everything he could want as a young boy, but he took a job as a cabin boy on the ship, "Red Jacket." He sailed on the ship for a year, exploring the world. But, it wasn't enough for him, and he and a couple other of the crew jumped the ship. It didn't last, and soon he was out in the streets in Alabama. Then, a kind old man took him in. When he got older, Jim took a job on the Lock I, on the Tombigee River, where he worked for about six months. Then, he worked at the Alabama Corn Mills Company for 33 years. He married in 1914, and got a job as a helper on one of the Taylor Lowenstein trucks in 1932. He had that job during the interview.
8.) The interviewer knew what he was doing. He wrote a good interview about a very interesting person. Jim Davis went from having a good life to living on the streets, just because he wanted adventure. But, he found his way out of it, and was living happily with his wife.
